Both are open to full-time domestic and international master's students, and neither has a separate form. The admission packet is the application.

Fairleigh Dickinson University Scholarships 2027

International freshmen have their own ladder, the FDU International Scholarship worth up to $24,000 a year, with a $16,000 transfer version, a $3,000 Global Housing Grant on the Metropolitan campus and $1,500 family and alumni grants.

UNDP Internship Programme 2027 - New York HQ Stipend
The UNDP Internship Programme places students and recent graduates inside United Nations Development Programme teams for six weeks to six months, and the New York headquarters is one of its duty stations. Past headquarters calls have covered UN system affairs, corporate and institutional law, programmes and projects law, and policy and advocacy on climate and security risk. Unlike several other UN internships, this one pays: an in-person intern who is not funded by a university, government, foundation or scholarship receives a monthly stipend set for the duty station, calculated as 45 per cent of the lowest level of the local NPSA salary scale. UNDP pays nothing else. Travel, visas, passports, accommodation, living costs and medical insurance are all yours. Vacancies appear on the UNDP Job Page through the year at post level IN, with no annual application round.
Kansas State University Scholarship 2027 - Up to $76,404
Kansas State University hands out its general university scholarships automatically. Apply for admission by the priority date and you are considered, with no essay and no separate scholarship form.

Out-of-state and international freshmen are assessed for the Wildcat Non-Resident Award, which wipes out 50% to 100% of the non-resident portion of tuition and is estimated at $9,551 to $19,101 a year, or $38,204 to $76,404 across four years. Domestic freshmen starting in Fall 2027 apply by 1 December 2026, while transfer and international applicants work to 1 May 2027.

Tiffin University Dragon Flight Fellowship 2027
The Dragon Flight Fellowship is Tiffin University's four-year drone technology honors track in Tiffin, Ohio. Fellows earn FAA Part 107 certification in year one, then work real missions with the Ohio EPA, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the Seneca County Sheriff and Tiffin Fire/Rescue before finishing with a capstone project. The fellowship itself pays no separate stipend. It is an honors experience layered on top of a Tiffin merit scholarship, which runs from $13,000 to $20,000 a year for 2027-2028, and you must already hold one to be eligible. Applications close February 1.
University of Georgia Undergraduate Scholarships 2027
The University of Georgia hands out thousands of academic scholarships every admissions cycle, and almost none of them have an application form. Admitted first-year students are screened automatically for a ladder of awards running from a $2,000 Charter Scholarship up to the Foundation Fellowship, which pays a $15,750 stipend in state and $30,000 for international students on top of a tuition waiver. Out-of-state applicants are scored for the Classic and Classic City awards, which wipe out half or all of the gap between in-state and non-resident tuition. The only deadlines that belong to a scholarship rather than to admission are 1 November for the Foundation Fellowship and 15 January for the CURO Honors Scholarship.
